Several "A riders" were telling me at the dinner that they're up for this. They can talk the talk, can they "ride the ride"?

0730 start.Two stop strategy (Leyburn x 2)First hour and last 3 hours in the dark.Lots of quiet lanes and mountain roads.Back about 1930

It really is not as tough as it sounds. We all have the gear these days, it's just a case of riding sensibly and taking it section by section. Obviously, be prepared for winter weather, and bare in mind it isn't "Tan Hill Bust", we'll adjust the ride to suit the conditions.
